Quanser QNET Rotary Inverted Pendulum 2.0

NI ELVIS Controls Board

Inverted Pendulum NI ELVIS Controls Board—The Quanser QNET Rotary Inverted Pendulum 2.0 is an add-on application board for NI ELVIS II or NI ELVIS II+. This application board has been developed for education to facilitate hands-on, active learning of the fundamentals of nonlinear control, stability, damping, state feedback, linear–quadratic regulator (LQR), and hybrid control through a pendulum. By designing a control system that balances a vertical rod on a rotating arm, students develop engineering intuition on a broad range of controls topics.
